Chapter 268: The power went out

For this kind of thing, it's actually quite boring. Because it's a wake, you can't do whatever you want as you normally would. I can only sit here quietly and do nothing!

As soon as I came and went, I felt a wave of tiredness hit my brain! There is an urge to sleep for a while!

However, at this time, I also knew that I couldn't sleep at all. Because according to the custom in their village, at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, I will take some people to the entrance of the village to pick up the night fairy! That is, the ghost sent back! So, I have to stay awake now!

I looked at Jiang Zhongguo, he was also sleepy at this time. And the wolf woman and Lele were already sitting in the chair and closed their eyes. I don't know if those people outside have also found their own places to rest at this time! Anyway, now there's no sound at all.

All I could hear was the sound of flames in the brazier.

To sober myself up, I got up from my chair. I walked around the ancestral hall casually.

After seeing my situation, Jiang Zhongguo couldn't help but say to me: "Lin Shuo, it's still early, you can rest for a while!" When it's time to invite the Night Fairy, I'll call you. ”

I shook my head slightly and said, "It's okay! I'll just walk around! ”

With that, I casually walked a few steps inside the ancestral hall. At the same time, my gaze unconsciously glanced inside the woman's coffin.

I don't know if I was dazzled, but I just felt that the woman's head was actually turning towards me as I looked at it. Seems to be planning to make eye contact with me!

I was taken aback! Just as I was about to take a closer look, all of a sudden, it was dark in front of my eyes! All the lights in the ancestral hall went out at once! There are only three coffins left, the everlasting lamp in front of the coffin and the burning paper inside the brazier, and the fire is still faintly beating! It feels even more weird!

What's going on?

Just before I had time to figure out what was going on, Jiang Zhongguo's voice suddenly came out: "Why is this a good power outage?" ”

Hearing Jiang Zhongguo say this, I also felt that something was not quite right in this matter!

I've been in this village for a while. However, why is there no power outage here on any day, just in time for a sudden power outage today? Is it a coincidence, or is something deliberate?

Just when I was thinking nonsense, Tang Xiao and my cousin walked out of the back room behind the ancestral hall.

Tang Xiao looked at me and asked me with some surprise, "Lin Shuo, what's going on?" Could it be a power outage? ”

I turned my head to look at Tang Xiao and said, "It's okay!" It will be fine in a while! ”

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but turn my head to Jiang Zhongguo and said, "Village Chief, do you have any candles or anything like that here?" ”

Jiang Zhongguo shook his head and said, "Originally, there was. However, because Wu Lang and Zhongchen held two funerals in a row. So, it's all gone! I haven't had time to prepare yet! ”

Hearing this, I frowned slightly. He said, "Village Chief, think of a way to prepare some candles and lanterns!" It's so dark in here, if something happens, I'm afraid it will catch people off guard! ”

Hearing me say this, the wolf woman, who had never spoken, couldn't help but say at this time: "Why don't you go back with me." I've got these things there! ”

Hearing the wolf woman say this, Jiang Zhongguo nodded. Say, "That's good! I'll go with you! ”

Seeing the two of them preparing to leave, I stopped Jiang Zhongguo. Then, he said to him, "Village Chief, let me go!" You continue to burn paper for them here! Remember, the incense here can't be broken! ”

Hearing this, Jiang Zhongguo nodded, then returned to the position just now and began to burn the paper money.

I prepared for a while, and I was ready to leave with the wolf woman.

When Tang Xiao saw that I was leaving, he was also preparing to follow. However, I stopped her and told her that I would be back soon! Then, he said to Lele: "I'll leave it to you first!" ”

Lele looked at me, but didn't say anything!

Jiang Zhongguo said on the side at this time: "Don't go alone, let's take two people with you!" Even if something happens on the road, we can take care of each other! ”

As soon as I heard Jiang Zhongguo say this, I reacted. The people outside seem to have not moved for a long time! Even now that the power is out. There's nothing unusual about them either! What's going on? Could it be that they are all asleep? Don't know what's happening now. Or is there something out there that I don't know about?

As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but look outside. However, at this time, it was pitch black outside, and the full moon that was originally hanging in the sky was also hiding behind the clouds at this time. So, I didn't see anything!

Looking at the dark courtyard outside, my heart was a little unsteady!

So, I couldn't help but ask outside, "Is there anyone outside?" ”

As soon as they heard me ask, Jiang Zhongguo and the wolf woman couldn't help but look at me curiously.

In their opinion, those people outside are obviously what we can arrange, why do I still have such a question?

However, I ignored their expressions and waited quietly for an answer from those outside.

However, I waited for more than 20 seconds, and still no one answered my question.

This time, not only me, but even Jiang Zhongguo and the wolf woman also felt that something might be wrong!

So, he couldn't help but come over and ask me, "Lin Shuo, what's going on?" ”

I shook my head and didn't answer their questions. Then, again, he asked, "Is there anyone out there?" ”

As I asked, there was finally a response from outside!

I heard a woman's voice faintly coming out: "Are you looking for me?" ”

Suddenly hearing such a voice, all of us couldn't help but feel a shock in our bodies!

Because before the power outage, I had already let all the irrelevant people leave. Especially women! But why is there a woman's voice outside? Moreover, it is still such a grudge! Could it be......

As soon as I thought of this, I hurriedly shouted outside: "I don't care who you are, hurry up and get out of me!" Otherwise, I'll beat you tonight! ”

After hearing my words, the woman was silent.

I glanced at Lele. Then, with courage, he walked out of the ancestral hall slowly.

I used the faint light of my mobile phone to shine around the yard, only to find that all the people who had stayed in the yard at this time fell to the ground and fell unconscious!

I frowned. Then, he turned around again and walked into the ancestral hall.

Jiang Zhongguo couldn't help but ask me, "Lin Shuo, what's wrong with them?" ”

"I'm fainting! Still, it shouldn't be a big deal! ”

Speaking of this, I turned to Jiang Zhongguo and asked, "Village Chief, do you have a bowl and water here?" ”

Hearing that I wanted these two things, Jiang Zhongguo hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes!" I'm going to get you ready! ”

After saying that, he brought me a small bowl from the back room.

I grabbed a little burnt paper ash from the brazier and put it in a small bowl. Then, he filled the bowl with a full bowl of water, and then walked out again with the bowl. Then, the water in the bowl was fed to the people outside.

It wasn't until the last person that the water in the bowl was just gone.

I didn't speak, just waited there quietly for a while. Soon, the people in the courtyard slowly woke up.

After seeing that they were all sober, I asked them, "How is it?" Are you alright? ”

Hearing my question, those people were also very puzzled! Looks like they didn't know what was going on just now!

Since they didn't know, I didn't say much. Just said to the wolf woman, "Wolf woman, we can go to your house now!" ”

Hearing my words, the wolf woman nodded in agreement. Then, follow me back.

Jiang Zhongguo was worried that the two of us would be in trouble. So, we called two strong men to go back with us!

On the way back to the village, there was a dead silence all around!

Because of the power outage, we don't know at all whether the people in the village stayed up all night as I said! All I know is that there seems to be something wrong with the village at this time! I can't even hear the sound of insects! All I could hear was the footsteps of the four of us as we walked. Everything around seems to be firmly covered by a gloomy dead air! It makes people feel breathless!

Seeing this situation, the two strong men who came with us were very uneasy! But the wolf woman was silent at this time and didn't say a word.

Without saying a word, I continued to walk towards the wolf lady and their house!

Because I have been to the wolf woman's house before. So, I found it here with a lot of familiarity. However, when I returned to the village, I noticed that the whole village had become black and oppressive due to the power outage. Moreover, there was no movement at all! It feels like a dead village!

We went to the wolf's house. The wolf woman didn't say a word, but took down a red candle from the offering table used for worship in her home. Then, light it with a lighter. There was a glimmer of light in the whole room!

Not enough to light up the whole house, though. However, it can also give us a little more insight into the situation around us!

So, a few of us started to look back and forth in the house. I hope to find the candles and white lanterns that the wolf woman said!

However, after taking a look around, we really didn't see anything.

So, I couldn't help but turn my head and ask the wolf lady where those things were!
